Beautiful shot! It’s a stunning sight being able to capture 10 million stars in a single frame!! Nice star colours too

Thanks David and Mike. This was a bit of a test to combine a color image using the mono rig as well as to try some masking in PixInsight.

I am pretty impressed how much detail the little scope managed to pull. Was lucky as the seeing conditions in Canberra that night were pretty decent too.
